gay marriage

If you haven’t heard about it, there is a great film out that tackles some highly controversial issues within society today. Without spoiling the movie, a central issue confronted in the movie is homosexuality. This film does not gloss over the issues involved which I find refreshing especially in a day where being political correct is on so many of our minds. It also features the best news one can ever know. You will not want to miss Audacity and please share it with others.

In the aftermath of CNBC’s liberal attempted whipping at the latest Republican presidential candidate debate, what many of us already know is the media could care less about treating conservative and God-fearing people fairly. There is simply reason for this. These are the media types many of whom are Democrats with liberal ideologies and anti-biblical worldviews. They have a blinding hatred of God and because their love of sin comes first, there won’t be much interest taken for what is good, right or just. Because of their love of breaking God’s commands (which is sin) is so great, there isn’t going to be much interest in defending innocent life or praising biblically based family values either. Fairness in their mind would mean they would have to look at what God thinks about sin. They would have to look outside themselves and acknowledge that perhaps they are accountable to a higher power. This isn’t likely because doing so would mean facing hard truth’s and consequences about their own sin filled hearts.

Take a simple debate for example and suppose a candidate believes something contrary to what God says is right like gay marriage. You better know that anybody who already wants to break God’s commands will support this candidate because they will publicly defend and even excuse breaking God’s commands (sin). The opposite is true. When a candidate or person stands up to proclaim their support for biblical values and even believe God’s commands to be the truth and worth obeying, such a person might as well have a giant target on their back. Therefore we see sides being clearly drawn but this shouldn’t surprise any of us. This is a classic example of good vs evil.

We see this battle of good vs evil being played out in a literal and physical way when ISIS and Muslims kill Christians for a seemingly simple belief in Jesus. We see the same battle when big-shot media types attempt to verbally destroy God-fearing presidential candidates in a debate and on their TV shows. We see the battle of good vs evil when police are increasingly becoming characterized as the enemy even in the face of growing crime and murders. The lines have already been drawn between good and evil and it’s up to us to recognize and call it for what it is. So which side are you on? What happens after you die will be determined by what you think now.

Some of the Republican candidates running for president this year are more conservative or left of middle than others. They would each attempt to right a sinking ship called America and actually fix many problems our nation faces today–instead of making things worse. However, I don’t believe America deserves any of these fine individuals to be our leader. Americans, through our choice to elect Obama not once, but twice, have proven our unworthiness to have such valuable person in the White House. We don’t deserve a person who will actually fix problems rather than create them and most assuredly not a person who will place God’s laws above all else.

When we choose a person who deliberately wants to destroy us through negotiations with a terrorist country (Iran) while failing to secure the release of innocent lives being tortured in that country we deserve to suffer the consequences of such recklessness. If we elect a person who repeatedly champions immorality as is seen with his view on abortion or gay marriage while defending the actions of some to murder police officers but at the same time ignores the mass murdering of blacks (in Chicago, Baltimore and elsewhere)–we cannot expect peace. And when we support a person who makes unlawful executive actions and campaigns for the implementation of illegal legislation such as Obama Healthcare to control the people it becomes pretty clear to some why America is falling apart. These actions are only a breadcrumb of the damage that has been done and is being done by our current president.

For some of us who read the Bible, we know why this is going on. And we also know the One who will right the ship and have final say. While in the meantime, we also know “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving.” (2Cor4:4a)

Admittedly, there isn’t much peace to be found–if any. But is there hope? Can any of this damage we have incurred at our nation’s expense be undone? Can there really be true individual or collective peace at all? Yes and the only way is if we repent. We each must each repent of our sins against God. God’s standard for what is perfect and good is different from ours. God is perfect and holy and cannot have sin (see good person test) in His presence. Have any of us been perfect? Are any of us without sin? If we are honest, the answer is clearly no. We have all broken His perfect, holy commands and deserve judgment.

But do you know where you are going after you die? If God’s coming judgment upon human kind is real, does this concern you? None of us are promised tomorrow. Why not take the complete good person test linked at my website, AreYouGood.us today?

“It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27

“the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36

God created the rainbow. The rainbow was a visual promise (covenant) to Noah of the Bible (and is to all flesh) that God will not flood the earth again. (see Genesis 9:14-17) The rainbow is beautiful because God created it that way.

I find it intriguing how we as human beings can fulfill Bible prophecy and God’s teachings without even knowing it. Look at Romans 8:7–“The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.” In other words, we naturally have a hatred directed at God. Enter the gay pride symbol: the rainbow. Human beings have taken something God intended beautiful and have trampled it underfoot by making it (the rainbow) a symbol for sinning against God. Therefore as the Bible already states, this is all done because it’s our nature to break God’s law (sin). Without being born again spiritually (to get a new heart from God) we will not be able to please Him nor will we have a Savior from the wrath to come.

“It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36

“God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 ESV

Marriage and more specifically gay marriage is a hot topic these days. There’s a movie out that is also a hot topic. The movie is called Audacity (not to be confused with the audio program of the same name) If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I highly recommend it to you. Have a look.
